Description

Season 3 of Outlander picks up right after Claire travels through the stones to return to her life in 1948. Now pregnant, she struggles with the fallout of her sudden reappearance and its effect on her marriage to her first husband, Frank. Meanwhile, in the 18th century, Jamie suffers from the aftermath of his doomed last stand at the historic battle of Culloden, as well as the loss of Claire. Separated by continents and centuries, Jamie and Claire must find their way back to each other, each haunted by the memory of their lost love. Finally reunited, the couple faces adversity and adventure on an epic quest across the high seas into the jungles of the West Indies.

After living through the Battle of Culloden, Jamie finds himself at the mercy of unforgiving British victors, until a connection from his past provides his only hope of survival. Meanwhile, a pregnant Claire attempts to adjust to life in the modern world of 1940s Boston – and life with Frank.

Hiding in an isolated cave, Jamie leads a lonely life until Lallybroch is threatened by redcoats pursuing the elusive Jacobite traitor known as “Red Jamie.” Back in Boston, Claire and Frank struggle to coexist in a marriage haunted by the ghost of Jamie’s love.

In prison, Jamie discovers that an old foe has become the warden – and now has the power to make his life a living hell. Over the years, Claire and Frank both put their best foot forward to share a harmonious marriage, but an uninvited guest shatters this illusion, bringing their differences to light.

While serving as groomsman at the aristocratic estate of Helwater, Jamie is reluctantly pulled into the intrigue of a noble British family. In 1968 Scotland, Claire, Brianna and Roger struggle to trace Jamie's whereabouts in history, leaving Claire to wonder if they will ever find him again.

As Brianna grapples with the life-changing revelations of the past summer, Claire must help her come to terms with the fact that she is truly her father’s daughter – her 18th century Highlander father. To complicate matters further, Roger brings news that forces Claire and Brianna to face an impossible choice.

In the aftermath of a violent confrontation, Claire follows her conscience as a surgeon, even though it could put her and Jamie’s lives at risk. At the same time, Jamie attempts to evade the reach of the Crown as its representative closes in on his illegal dealings.

Claire returns to Lallybroch with Jamie, where she does not receive quite the reception she was expecting. Unbeknownst to her, Jamie's made some choices in their time apart which come back to haunt them with a vengeance.

Claire and Jamie leave Scotland, sailing to the West Indies on an urgent quest. But when the superstitious crew looks for someone to blame after a string of bad luck, rescue comes from an unlikely source.

Claire races to discover the source of an epidemic aboard a disease-stricken ship before hundreds of sailors die. And as Jamie locks horns with Captain Raines, Fergus finds himself torn between loyalty and love.

After making a leap of faith, Claire washes up on a seemingly deserted island where survival is her only option. Navigating treacherous waters has crippled the Artemis, so Jamie devises a joyful moment for his crew in the midst of devastating setbacks.

The Artemis finally reaches Jamaica bringing Jamie and Claire that much closer to their goal. During a lavish ball on the island, the Frasers encounter old allies, as well as former adversaries who threaten to derail their mission.

This season for the first time ever, Claire and Jamie spend almost half of the season apart. This piece talks about what it was like for Caitriona and Sam to work separately for so long and what it was like reuniting their characters after 20 years had passed.

Geillis Duncan returns once again this season. We hear from Lotte Verbeek as well as the rest of the cast and crew as they describe the evolution of Geillis' character and what it was like working together this season.

Absolute let down and breaks my <3 to say it

by
MandaPanda2780

I absolutely fell in love with this show in the first season but i will not lie just because i’m a fan. This season was a trainwreck compared to 1 and 2. The writing was like that of a children’s book and it showed through to the acting and screen. Many important moments were left out and many unimportant scenes were much longer than needed be. With season 1 especially, I constantly go back and watch it just because its so great. With season 3, i never felt that need to go back and rewatch and that says a lot. Still good in stand alone aspects like acting, custume, ect. But as a whole, I was left wondering wth all the hype was about leading up to its release and that breaks my heart to say. Hope season 4 is slightly better and they somewhat can recover.

Outstanding script adaptation, acting, direction, set design, art direction and casting. If you loved the previous seasons this is equally as captivating.
